I cannot conceive of a God who rewards and punishes his creatures, or has a will of the kind that we experience in ourselves. Neither can I nor would I want to conceive of an individual that survives his physical death; let feeble souls, from fear or absurd egoism, cherish such thoughts. I am satisfied with the mystery of the eternity of life and with the awareness and a glimpse of the marvelous structure of the existing world, together with the devoted striving to comprehend a portion, be it ever so tiny, of the Reason that manifests itself in nature.

A friend of mine needs a double lung transplant. He recently received his Ph.D. and is researching Cystic Fibrosis, the disease that destroyed his lungs. He is already trying to pay it forward. Please give if you can. Thanks﻿

I wish he would have called out the shop owner who had a $25 minimum order (32:00 mark). On what planet does his excuse make sense? Because it's too volatile? Let's say that it lost 50% in one day....wouldn't you rather be out $1.25 for a cup of coffee than $12.50 for 25$ worth of coffee?﻿

There is statement that needs to be made to extremists and moderates alike, of any and every religion, despite any offense, and that is: the rules you make for your club do not apply to those who are not in your club.﻿

Dear Rest of the World:I am sorry for what my government has done. Torture is not acceptable. Ever. That I didn't vote for those who started this program, or allowed this program to exist, is not sufficient to absolve myself of a share of the blame. Some may jokingly claim that the TSA security theater we now suffer when we fly could be considered the mildest form of torture, but that further trivializes the actual torture that has occurred in the past dozen or so years. Please know that most Americans do not agree with any policy that permits torture. I am not asking you to forgive these abominable actions -- far from it; I hope you will continue to loudly decry these abuses. But we should all remember, the actions of a government, even a democratically elected government, do not always reflect the will of its people. Accountability and transparency must be demanded from our governments, and mine is certainly no exception. As a great American, Benjamin Franklin, once said, "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." I would extend that by saying those who would trade others' essential Liberties to secure their own Safety are even less deserving of both.﻿___Yeah, what he said.
